Commentary for Ezekiel 35:11
Ezekiel 35:11 is part of a prophetic oracle found in the Book of Ezekiel, specifically within a section that pronounces judgment on Edom. The historical context of this verse is set against the backdrop of the ancient rivalry between Israel and Edom. Edom, descended from Esau, Jacob's brother, had a long-standing antagonistic relationship with Israel, which felt particularly acute during the time of the Babylonian exile.
In this verse, God, speaking through the prophet Ezekiel, addresses Edom directly. The themes present include divine retribution and the sovereignty of God. The Lord GOD declares that He will respond to Edom's actions—actions motivated by anger and envy, rooted in a deep-seated hatred for Israel. God vows to mirror the intensity of Edom's malice, executing judgment upon them. This judgment is not only punitive but also serves a revelatory purpose: through the act of judging Edom, God will make Himself known to the nations. This suggests that God's intervention in history is a means of revealing His character and His commitment to justice, particularly for the oppressed and victimized.
The verse reflects the broader biblical theme of God's involvement in the affairs of nations, upholding the cause of righteousness and defending His people. It also underscores the idea that God's judgment is righteous and measured, aligning with the moral integrity of His nature and the severity of the offenses committed. The promise that God will make Himself known implies that His actions will be so clearly just and powerful that they will serve as a testimony to His presence and authority in the world.
